Question

Transcribed Image Text:D. Direction: Answer the following mixing problem using separation of variables.
A typical mixing problem involves a tank of fixed capacity filled with a thoroughly mixed
solution of some substance, such as salt. A solution of a given concentration enters the tank at
a fixed rate and the mixture, thoroughly stirred, leaves at a fixed rate, which may differ from
the entering rate. If y(t) denotes the amount of substance in the tank at a time t, then y'(t) is
the rate at which the substance is being added minus the rate at which it is being removed.
The mathematical description of this situation often leads to a first-order separable differential
equation.
Problem:
A tank contains 20 kg of salt dissolved in 5000L of water. Brine that contains 0.03 kg of salt
per liter of water enters the tank at a rate of 25L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed
and drains from the tank at the same rate. How much salt remains in the tank after half an
hour?
